Councilman Tim Babylon councilmanbabylon@hotmail.com

Tim is very proud to run alongside Chris & Jason in our local Town election. He cites fiscal responsibility as a main priority and wholeheartedly supports Mayor Nevin’s pledge not to raise local taxes. He also reflects on his time living in the Columbia area as a reason for seeking office. After seeing firsthand what uncontrolled growth and unchecked regulations can do to ruin a pleasant rural area, he does not want to see Hampstead head down a similar path. He believes the key to success is intelligent long term planning with a focus on job development and infrastructure. Finally, he wants to help restore and revitalize Hampstead’s Main Street area into a destination for shoppers and diners. He is very pleased to see several local businesses recently set up shop on Main Street. He would like to see this trend continue and wants to work closely with the local Main Street Merchants to help ensure their success.

Tim’s professional career began at Black & Decker in their Hampstead location as a customer contact representative dealing with product recalls. He worked for Black & Decker in several locations around the country in steadily rising positions of responsibility before returning to Maryland to pursue a career requiring less travel. This change resulted in Tim accepting a job in the pharmaceutical industry and in early 2004, purchasing a house in the Roberts Field neighborhood. Tim now works as a Practice Manager for Sinai Lifebridge Health in Baltimore.

Tim was born and raised in Manchester and graduated from North Carroll High School in 1994. He attended York College of Pennsylvania where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Law in 1998. During college he was an active lacrosse and water polo player. He also worked in WVYC college radio as an on-air personality, was a member of the Student and Academic Senates as well as the Senior Honor Society. He was placed in the 1998 edition of Who’s Who Among Students in Colleges and Universities.

Tim has been a political activist for more than two decades and got his start while supporting Linda Chavez in 1986. He most recently worked as a campaign director for Michelle Jefferson in Carroll’s 2010 District 3 Commissioner race. He was also proud to support the campaigns of Haven Shoemaker, Justin Ready, Doug Mathias & Nancy Stocksdale.

In his spare time, Tim enjoys relaxing at home with his beautiful fiancée Crystal who works long hours as an addictions counselor and full time student. They enjoy the company of their ridiculously puffy dog Gypsy and assorted lap cats. Whenever he has the time, Tim enjoys grabbing food and drink with friends at Dean’s restaurant, his favorite local restaurant.

His term expires in May 2015.

Councilman Jason Cavey councilman@cavey.com

Jason lives in Roberts Field with his wife Megan and two young children. He moved to Hampstead in 2009 from Hereford where he lived briefly after getting married. Although relatively new to Town limits, Jason grew up just over the county line inside the Hampstead zip code on Black Rock Road. He has been around politics his entire life and is the son of local businessman Chris Cavey. Over the years the Cavey’s have operated a number of businesses in Town from Cavey Insurance to Eagle Embroidery and the Hampstead Video store. Jason was involved in the operation of these family businesses and as a result is very familiar with our Town.

He took an interest in Town politics soon after moving into Town and began attending Council Meetings shortly after. Jason believes the Town needs to tighten its belt when it comes to spending and the budget just as many of us struggle in the current recessionary environment. Given Jason’s background in local business, he understands the hard work and determination that is needed to run a business. Jason aims to carry these values into his position on the Town Council with the aim of helping the local businesses be successful, which in turn maintains Hampstead’s small town charm. Jason also serves as the Vice President of the Council.

Jason currently works as an IT Infrastructure Consultant for The Cornerstone Professional Group and is a partner of Doogle Design, LLC, a local web design and hosting company. He enjoys everything technical and computer related. He also plans to lend his expertise in internet design to helping our Town improve its web presence and communication.

Jason graduated from Hereford High School in 2002 and then from West Virginia Wesleyan College in 2006 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science, and was president of the Kappa Tau Chapter of The Theta Xi Fraternity.
His term expires in May 2015.
